Windows 11’s Photos app just got debloated, but Microsoft is already ruining it with a WebView2 sequel

Microsoft Photos for Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel has been updated to feature a cleaner interface with fewer icons and a faster context menu. The update removes unnecessary elements, including the "Ask Copilot" button, and focuses on essential actions like Edit, Print, and Share. The context menu now opens faster and includes a concise list of relevant options. Additional enhancements include a richer file info pane, support for HEIC files without conversion, SVG viewing support, improved launch performance, and new device import controls. However, a new app called "Photos (Preview)" has been introduced, which operates as a WebView2 process and adds complexity to the user experience.

You should deep clean your Windows PC every year to keep it running smoothly — here’s how I do it

Maintaining the performance of a Windows 11 computer requires regular care, particularly in software management. An annual deep clean is recommended, with the following steps to improve performance: 1. Uninstall Apps: Use BCUninstaller to remove unnecessary applications, including those from the Microsoft Store, with a bulk uninstall feature and a post-uninstallation cleanup for leftover files. 2. Run a Debloat Script: Utilize tools like Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility to disable unnecessary bloatware and manage telemetry settings. 3. Disable Startup Apps: Access the Task Manager to disable non-essential applications that launch at startup, improving boot times. 4. Check for Driver Updates: Ensure drivers are up to date through Windows Update and check graphics driver websites for the latest versions. 5. Run a Malware Scan: Use Malwarebytes for deep scans to identify and remove potential malware threats. 6. Delete Temporary Files: Clear temporary files through the Settings app and clean up web browser cached files to free up space.
